O-rings pushed on would serve to keep the records stacked on the shaft. The square shaft would need to be filed/turned down to fit the disc holes, but that's no great concern, especially considering the slow speeds a rotisserie turns at. I had just last week started looking for an ultrasonic cleaner, and came up with an idea YOU might consider using.a BBQ rotisserie motor, suitably modded to slowly rotate the discs.
I have disc cleaner I use from a 78 record player dealer/restorer, and can readily get more.I can't use alcohol-based cleaners due to the shellac 'melting' from them! FOR YOU.
Right now I'm looking at a 6 liter and a 10 liter machine.any suggestions? She Who Must Be Obeyed will be getting it for me for Xmas, PROVIDING I don't get a vac machine.I lean to the ultrasound machines. I have a BUTTLOAD of 78s that I need to clean.I've acquired about 300 or so in the last three years, and a serious sorting of them shows pristine (rarely) to just short of being dipped in mud. The improved sound demonstrates a remarkably thorough cleaning, far better than anything else I have experienced and it’s reassuring to be able to see the muck accumulating at the bottom of the tank. The improvement over just using a vacuum cleaner is very noticeable and I am completely sold on the value of the ultrasonic tank for the listening experience.
#Photoflow liquid for cleaning records plus
This process means it takes half an hour plus the soak to complete the five records. Then I suck the records dry using my old vacuum record cleaning machine, without any rinsing. I usually put five records in at a time, the maximum with these separators – balsa wood circles with rubber ‘O’ rings glued on which protect the record labels from getting wet – soak the vinyl for quarter of an hour or more while the cleaning fluid warms up to 33 degrees centigrade and then turn the spindle one fifth of a revolution every minute for fifteen minutes on the gentler cleaning setting. The fluid I use is L’Art du Son solution plus some Kodak Photo-flo to wet the vinyl properly. The ultrasonic tank size is 6Ltr which is ideal for LP's. My support / spindle is still very basic but sufficient for me to leave it at this and I’m not going to try motorising the spindle. The question is how do you clean vinyl records safely? And each time the record is played, this dust will damage the grooves if not removed. But no matter how carefully you put a record away, over time dust somehow finds it’s way into the inner sleeve. Even with a budget record deck, the difference in playback quality can easily be greatly improved by cleaning. If you have a collection of old or new vinyl records, you will understand the importance of keeping them clean and dust free. In an ideal World, the only item to touch the surface of a record should be a stylus. The less physical contact anything has with the face of the disc, the better and most cleaning methods require some kind of rubbing or brushing. Microscopic dust particles are removed from the very bottom of the record groove. This ticks all the boxes with regards to non-contact with the surface of the record and they can be cleaned very thoroughly. Cleaning vinyl records with an Ultrasonic Cleaner.
